OK, guys! then since it's a quite close silver medal, and thus not a bad choice...

THE BRABHAM BMW BT53 YOU"LL SEE!!!
:D :D
I promise, though, taking a close look at the idea of making also the BT55... and finishing the one at 1/200 too!! :lol:
Thanks for your interest and your votes.
I've already started making plans... first sketches done.
